Who do companies sell shit to? Where do they get their profits from? Why do they even exist?

What makes DevOps so different from sysadmin? Recruiters always told me "it's nearly the same", but I never got the job, so I guess idk.

DIY, outdoors plant identification, "dumpster diving" for useful old stuff e.g. scavenge parts for DIY, boardgames, making up new recipes, fail, improve them.

I knew and use this, but I never thought to call it two clipboards :)

Plus I'd never heard of shift-ins, I just used ctrl-shift-c/v in graphic terminals :P

But I like Jar Jar 😅

We also do all that, the problem is that it's all commodified, advertised, ultracompetitive, conspicuous and repackaged, like we need to relate to each other and nature through something that has come out of a factory or a pr firm. There are ways to escape this, but it comes at a social cost, but it gets better if you find others.

To my own discredit, I still lurk the reddit NCD without an account and they're all over this back there :)

NCD is so noncredible that it overflowed back to prophetic: https://old.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/zp6b78/hamas_paragliders/ lol

If people were really good at removing that info, they'd probably create a unique hash including all that data that we wouldn't be able to edit.

Good reminder, I'd never considered that 😅 So why did lots of reddit subs discourage the use of URL shorteners? Was this just standard Reddit badness?

[–] Gsus4 1 points 2 years ago

yes, but it's a body that has existed for more than 300 years, there must be some way to get an impression on it through the times :)

This interview is 2 months old, but I haven't seen it discussed so far and given the news about reddit's new cryptobeaniebabies, here it goes. This is a critique of the tech hype cycle, LLMs, VR, the metaverse failure, NFTs and cryptocurrencies with a refreshing historical awareness of past attempts that failed, like second life and VR games. Adam Conover's interviewee is Dan Olson https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7v5qq/meet-the-guy-who-went-viral-on-youtube-for-explaining-how-nfts-crypto-are-a-poverty-trap
